[1]Thisdraft was written by Lenin for the meeting of the Politbureau of
October 20, 1921, which had before it the request of the People’s
Commissariat for Finance that representatives of the Corn-missariat be
included intheC.L.D. and the regional and gubernia economic conferences
with a right to vote. The Politbureau rejected this request and adopted
Lenin’s motion. The last sen-tence in the manuscript is crossed out and was
not included in the decision.

AFinance Commission of the Central Committee,
R,C.P.(B.) and the Council of People’s Commissarswas set up on
Lenin’s proposal soon after the Tenth Congress of the Party for dealing
with questions of financial policy in the light of the New Economic Policy.
